I've come to view Elm as someones personal compiler project. If you are good with the decisions made then you're going to have a fine time, otherwise you probably won't
I think we are somewhat in agreement, Elm is certainly Evan's language and framework, and if you live within the boundaries of it you'll have a pleasant experience.
I have read all of the bad experience posts on Elm because I've spent a while working with it now and it is always valuable to see someone else's perspective on it. In practice the pain points either haven't really been a problem for me, or I've found a satisfactory way around them using web components, ports, code generation, or other ways.
My experience is just more anec-data and I know it won't represent everyone's experience. I'd encourage anyone hesitant about Elm to give it a go, it's been a joy to work with.
